Pig Floyd’s Urban Barbakoa in Orlando, Florida

Updated onSeptember 11, 2014May 31, 2020

I met Thomas Ward years ago when he opened up one of the original food trucks in the Orlando area, the Treehouse Truck. After selling that lunch wagon, Thomas took some time off. Pig Floyd’s Urban Barbakoa was born during his food hiatus.

Pig Floyd’s Urban Barbakoa features BBQ with a mix of sandwiches like the Matahambre (which translates as Hunger Killer) Sandwich or the Mills 50 (with brisket, pimento cheese, caramelized onions, and grilled red peppers. There are some odes to his Hispanic background, too, like the jasmine rice & Cuban black beans and yuca fries.

I’m all about the Plain Jane Sliced Brisket Sandwich and those unbelievable Oakwood Smoked Ribs.
